The Guild family papers contain three diaries; a catalogue of books (1884), probably of Curtis Guild Sr.; an address book (1943); a checkbook (1945-46) of the New England Trust Co.; and miscellaneous newspaper clippings, Harvard University club memorabilia, and a few manuscript song lyrics and letters of Guild family members. The diaries include: one dated 1871-72, probably by Sarah C.C. Guild, describing daily events in Boston and a trip to Europe on the steamer Tripoli, June to Nov. 1871; and two by Sarah L. Guild. The first is dated Jan. through July 1896, and describes daily events and social life in Boston; activities of family members Curtis Sr., Sarah C.C., Curtis Jr., and Courtenay Guild; a trip to Europe in May-July 1896; and the Cuban Revolution. The second (1898-1900) describes social events; a trip to Poland Springs, Maine; the death of her mother in Sept. 1898; and Cuba and the Spanish-American War. (Cont.) Also, a one-volume "Souvenir of Oliver Wendell Holmes," compiled by Curtis Guild in 1895, containing poetry and letters written to Guild by Holmes, broadsides, engravings, pamphlets, and newspaper clippings on Holmes's life and death.
